Abstract

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are a very promising material of carbon family and gained a severe concern by researchers since the last decades. There are numerous existed technologies for the synthesis of CNF or CNF/composites, but the focus of this book chapter is limited to catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown CNFs and their different applications. Owing to the high specific surface area, significant porosity with uniform pores, high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, electrochemical stability, biocompatible, less cytotoxic and mechanically stable, they are employed in several biochemical and electrochemical applications such as bioenergy generation, electrode materials for batteries, fuel cell, and supercapacitors and as sensors. They are being used keenly in different catalytic reactions for refining the atmosphere from different types of pollutants such as VOPs, POPs, etc. This paper summarizes the role/effect of various parameters which are actively or passively liable for the growth of CVD grown CNF such as metal catalysts, carbon sources, temperatures, and carbon source decomposition timing.
